HAIR-WAVING DEVICE.

Application led September 30, 1926. Serial No. 138,730.

This invention relates to improvements in hair waving devices and has as its object to provide a comb assemblage which may be conveniently employed to establish several waves in the hair and which will be so constructed that the waves will be regular and uniform.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device for the purpose stated which io will not need to be held in place by hand after being applied to the hair but will rei main in place through the inter-engagement of its component members, so that if desired,

more than one of the devices may be employed at a time, or the device and other combs may be employed simultaneously.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure l is a. View in elevation of the device embodying the invention;

Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows, and

Fig. 3 is a view, partly in plan and partly in section, on the line 3-3 of Fig. l, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

The device embodying the invention comprises a pair of companion comb members, indicated in general by the numerals 1 and 2. The comb l is a water wave comb of a conventional construction and includes the usual back 3 having teeth 4 extending therefrom. The combs as a whole are curved longitudinally, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing, so as to conform more or less closely to the scalp and the teeth of each comb member are likewise preferably curved in the direction of their length.

The comb 2 is of a special construction and includes a wide back 5 from which extend teeth 6. The back 5 is overturned in the direc-tion of one side of the said comb section to provide a yieldable ange or wall 7 for a channel 8 between the back and flange.

In the use of the device, the comb 2 is first set in the hair with its teeth extending v downwardly .and the hair projecting outwardly through its teeth. The comb 1 is then inserted upwardly intok the hair which extends outwardly and downwardly from the lcomb 2 with its teeth engaging the outer face of the comb 2. Upward movement of the comb l is continued until the free end portions of its teeth are seated in the channel 8 and gripped between the back 5 and wall 55 7 The two combs will, therefore, be frictionally held together with the hair engaged by the comb 1 crimped. i

It will be understood that the device is to be permitted to remain in place for a sufli- 60 cient period of time to establish a more or less permanent wave in the hair and that the device may be readily .applied and removed and, when once adjusted, will remain in its lposition of adjustment and not need to be eld manually.

Having thus described the invention, we claim:

1. A device of the class described comprising a pair of separate companion comb members one including a back having a channel extending across its outer face and open at its bottom, the said comb members being overlapped when in use with their teeth extending in opposite directions and the ends of the teeth of one member fitting in the channel of the other member.

2. A device of the class described comprising a pair of companion comb members, one having its back folded to form a channel extending longitudinally thereof and having yieldable walls, the said members being overlapped when in use with their teeth extending in o posite directions and the ends of the teeth o one member fitting in the channel of the other member.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
